You’ll have free time to explore quaint shops, local breweries, art galleries, and the Town Square with its arches made of shed antlers from the nearby National Elk Refuge.

Surpassed every expectation! When I read reviews of this tour before booking I thought that the people must be exaggerating. But after doing the Mighty Five Camping Trip I can confirm that it was truly one of the greatest experiences I've done.Our guides, Tyler and Chad, were incredibly knowledgeable, considerate and dedicated. They brought us on an adventure of the parks that I would have never been able to curate myself. The amount we saw in five days was mind-blowing and their guidance elevated the experience to more than I could have ever imagined. From the hikes to the food, the equipment to the stories, every detail surpassed my expectations. Both guides worked so well together and were the perfect pairing in creating this magical week. They gracefully tailored and adapted the hikes, activities, and menu to work for everyone in the group—building a level of service that would impress me in a hotel, never mind while camping in the wilderness.I cannot wait to book more MountainBased experiences! Especially if Tyler and Chad are the guides.

Superb Trip + Experience We had an incredible time doing the Utah Mighty 5 camping trip! The diversity in the daily hikes and the scenery were amazing, and the camping was not only set in great grounds, but for an inexperienced camper it was made easy by the guides instructions. The food, given we were out camping, was also delicious and excellently prepared everyday. Our guides, Tyler and Chad, were extremely nice, professional, and organized, providing excellent information and guidance throughout. They ensured everyone had the best time possible and were a huge part of why this trip was one of the best I've ever gone on. I wouldn't hesitate to book with mountainbased again for future trips , especially if Tyler/Chad are guiding them.

Might 5 review I did the mighty 5 mountained based trip last week and it was simply spectacular. I cannot say enough positives about our guides Tyler and Chad who were extremely informative, attentive and somehow keep seriously positive energy through the whole trip. Even the food was restaurant quality which is mind boggling on a few gas stoves after 13-14 hour days. The parks and hikes chosen were always manageable for the group but also let the more active trip members push a bit more to their limit which was welcomed. Really looking forward to doing another mountain based trip down the line and will be pushing hard to get the dream team of guides back on it, ideally in Alaska😅Cannot recommend this company and in particular these guides enough!
